CONVERSATION ON "BAXTER'S"

Customer: A large 2/ bottle of Baxter's Lung Preserver, please. Chemist: I am sorry, madam, but we cannot obtain the large size. Will you take a small bottle? Customer: I prefer the larger bottle because it is more economical. I always like to have "Baxter's" handy. Note: —The Chemist was in error. "Baxter's" is readily obtainable in large bottles. Your Chemist or Storekeeper can easily get the larger size for you.

PENAL MEASURES USELESS. "How can an improvement be effected? Not by means of fresh penalties, for these have lost their effectiveness. The revolution must come from above—from those official and semi-official circles in which the fine phrases about patriotism and sacrifice are nothing but wilful lies to disarm the victims whom they have already marked out for spoliation."

This suggestion of revolution— moral revolution—is becoming in-

creasingly frequent in the German papers, and some of the most distinguished men in Germany are discussing possibilities quite frankly. For instance, Dv. Friedrich Naumann is always harping upon the subject in his paper, the Berliner "Kili'e." In a recent issue he wrote: —• J'Tiie number of those who are directly or indirectly concerned in a general upheaval is too great to be

silenced by any repressive measures, and the war-outlook is too grave for a recourse to temporary palliative measures seriously to affect the situation. No force of arms will prove capable of allaying the internal war spirit that has been aroused in our land. "The true safeguards against the waves of a general European revolution must be established within the sphere of a German Popular State, as distinct from one founded on Imperialism and force, the persistence

of which can only end in utter, disin

tegration."
